Former Bath Rugby centre Ollie Devoto is in the Exeter Chiefs starting line-up for the West Country derby.

Devoto comes in at inside centre at Sandy Park; having made 85 appearances for the Blue, Black and Whites between 2012 and 2016.

The Chiefs have selected Joe Simmonds - their first-choice ten last season - at full-back. Jack Maunder is at scrum-half and James Short, who showed his finishing skills in the 22-22 draw at Newcastle Falcons last weekend, is on the left wing.

The hosts' skills coach Ricky Pellow believes the visitors will come with added willpower as they aim to get their season going after only two wins in nine matches so far.
